The best of times
The worst of times

The title is inspired bij the opening paragraph of the book “A tale of two cities” by Charles Dickens, first published in 1859.

The world of tomorrow
Change is a constant in history. But it is clear the pace of social, cultural and political changes is now very fast. Women direct the most powerful institutions in the world. And are cast as ‘superheroes’ in Hollywood movies. Museums are being ‘decolonialized’. Our patterns of consumption need to radically change if we are to combat climate change. On the world stage, China flexes its muscles while the USA takes a step backwards. What is the world of tomorrow going to look like? No-one knows. This uncertainty can be frightening but it also offers opportunities: for more equality and a more consciousness approach to how we interact with our planet. And let’s be honest: isn’t it exciting to witness the birth of a new world order?
